Personal:

I am originally from Knoxville, TN and moved to SLC with Jake in 2010. I started racing in 2011 and had some great success before a major injury hit me in July 2012. I had athletic pubalgia surgery in May 2013...then again in Sept 2014 and am still trying to get back to my old self. Although running is my true passion, I love doing pretty much anything active outdoors - backcountry skiing, backpacking, biking, etc. 

I've been running for the Saucony Team since 2011. I enjoy representing the brand and really do believe they make the best shoes :)

I work as a Quality Engineer for BD Medical in Sandy.

AM - Easy elliptical for 30 minutes and yoga for 20 minutes. The doctor told me not to exercise for two days after the injections yesterday but after some research, I deemed it safe for activities that aren't strenuous and not stress-ful. My back is sore today but that's expected from the procedure. Overall I feel better today...not sure if it's placebo effect and me wanting it to work so badly or if the injections are working. I'll know for sure in a couple days. 

I thought this was kind of interesting - How to Tie Your Shoes for the best fit...most of my shoes are laced with the open box tie in order to get extra room in the forefoot area.

And if this doesn't work, the next step is leeches. So this better work.

Glad you felt better today. I'm really sick of seeing that profile picture on your blog!

I went on a bike ride the morning after my injection. It was pretty crazy, my leg didn't work at all, it was pretty much a 1 legged bike ride. Did you get the ultrasound guided injection? I seriously think the injection is what ultimately fixed me, not so much that it fixed it but it took the pain away so I could start moving normal again which ultimately made it so I could heal properly.

Good Luck.

I'm hoping for the best!

Rob - I think mine was fluoroscopy-guided.
